    This is not the first time this happened.  Last time it happened, the line
    in the traceback was also just a call to suspend.  The MOO had previously
    been up for 6+ days, the last time it happened, it was up for longer. It has
    since been restarted a number of times after the first time.

    We are using 1.8.0p2 with stuff added into extensions.c (FUP, string stuff,
    and task info stuff), but this problems seems to transcend server versions,
    since the last time it happened, it was under 1.7.9.  At that time, I didn't
    think anything of it, just a fluke.  When things start going wrong twice,
    then I start to look closer. :)

    No one was logged into the MOO at the time.

    $housekeeper(#71):continuous, is, as you all know, the task that runs all
    the time cleaning up after all the lazy and dirty players. :)

    Any idea what signal 10 is?

    I can not reproduce this.

    uname -a returns "SunOS tecfasun1 5.4 Generic_101945-32 sun4m sparc"
    Unfortunately, the core file was useless (truncated to 512 bytes because of
    shell settings).

    Anyway, I'm not really looking for a fix for this, since it's gonna be hard
    to track down because it's unreproducable.  What I am wondering is if anyone
    else has gotten anything similar.

    Andy.
